Thanks, Bill. The system you describe sounds like my brother''s old home theater surround sound, which did a nice job with 5.1 DVDs, for concerts, opera, and musical theater. I presently use only a turntable or CD/DAC source with my hi-fi, in stereo ...

Nice to read your thoughts on this subject Paul. My interest at this point is to explore the issue of speed stability in the face of complex music, and its possible effect on congested sound. Is there a relationship? I suspect there...

[quote user="zztop7"] I do believe that it is best to minimize adverse contributions. [/quote] zztop7, I was very much not my intention to be abrasive with you and I am surprised that you got it in this way, it wasvery much not personal. The angle th...

Well, the Ultimate Turntable. I had the chance to listen to some personally. Most have one in common:Overrated and hyped from deaf "reviewers"And .... price tag has no direct comparison to sonic excellence ... or a lot of technical features which are...

Thank you, Romy. You've given me all the information I needed.You've not heard the 'table. Your only recourse is banal, insipid personal attack. You surround yourself with the like-minded, as is entirely your right, and it's your website, so more pow...

The lower bass configuration in my room is a bit interesting below is the bass diagram (under 50Hz)
As you can see the allocation of hot bass sports is superbly favorable in the room. There is pretty much no bass anywhere in the ...

A site reader sent me email: “ …some guys in Germany & Japan have put it [Micro RX5000] up against the Continuum and other ultra expensive high end tables with older vintage arms similar to your SME 3012 and shamed the newer tables.... “I asked a...

I am very jealous of people who buy a decently designed turntable that does not cost an arm an a leg, and can be satisfied with it for life. That first step they took, going from direct-driven, plastic tonearm and throw away cart TT, to a belt d...

Yesterday I listened to a turntable that fulfills many of the criteria you deem to be important. this was the Kuzma XL. It does have the provision for using two arms. I listened to it with both Kuzma's own Airline and the SMEV. It sounds very stable,...

Good news for audiophiles Cessaro new speaker is active and all Components like DAC DSP Pre and Power are in the new cessaro ported DSP loudspeaker.You just need a transport like cheap LG Samsung to play Ultra high end Sound ??https://www.cessaro.de/...

[quote user="Paul S"]My first thought on looking at your photo: "Night On Bald Mountain"! This particular set-up might work especially well for Halloween Hi-jinks!You might even install a remote-actuated "turntable" with different filters... Best re...

I have not found the PPs to completely isolate under many situations although they even out sonics across the day fairly well. The PP is far more steady when hooked into my small tubed bedroom system than the main system, the small TV HT system or th...

Here is there the “crazy” Stitch bitching about the “The Foolishness of Analog People” and about new turntables/arms the Morons invent each month. Those new turntables/arms are somewhere at borderline between absurdity and retardation and to their be...

Hi Jan - I contacted the bearing manufacturer you linked me to. Here's their response:Thank you for your email. Sorry, I do not have the cross reference information for the bearing size your turntable requires. Please let me know if you can provid...

Measet,The bearing oil on the RX-5000 should be replaced with a good low viscosity turbine oil, Zoomspark works well. When opening the bearing you will notice there is a steel thrust plate that will have a dimple on it, you can flip around and use th...

I have recently received two CDs from a friend who owns a SME turntable, has been using a Van den Hul Colibrí cartridge, and for fun purposes, set up a DL-103 on it (which I own but still have to set up). I have been listening to both recordings, pla...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]What attracts me to the TW TT is the idea that it is possible to discard anything that we might consider important but to make the platter as a sandwich what the bottom of the platter care bearing but the top of the platter...

Ok, it is bogus but no more bogus than anything else in “Ultimate Turntable” thread. Still, I like the notion, even though I have no idea if it might have any sonic consequences. I do not see the concept was used in turntable; perhaps the people who ...

[quote user="tokyo john"]Anyway, I actually wanted to ask you something else. I need another TT to accomodate my mono cart (some people are not as lucky as Romy to have 8 arms hooked up to one TT!)...[/quote]John,

I stopped yesterday at Borders and looked through current Stereophille magazine. It looks like 47Lab came up with their turntables. In the magazine there was an article about the TT by Mike Framer. Framer is the dirty Pampers of audio and I routinely...

I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, arms, cartridges, CD Player, Tuner, pre-amp and cables ...

Your request reminded me I had a recording of this music that I had not listened to for several years. It is an old London Blueback lp of the London Wind Soloist. I only intended listening to a couple of tracks to refamiliarize myself with the musi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, my question to you guys: what techniques you use to filter out just wana-to-sound-intelligent audio people what you are engage in random let say phone conversation? Did you develop any practice to recognize that the per...

[quote user="miab"]I had a dac that took 10 months, a turntable bearing a year and two compression drivers that took almost three years to arrive. All of them had me wanting to give up on them but persevered for the goal. I have spoken to Damien and ...

Cessaro once again didn't manage to find electronics that compensate the cold TAD sound, so the Silbaton WE demonstration one or two rooms away was quite a contrast. Without being addicted to that kind of sound and without having too much listening e...

This seems like an appropriate place to share my latest thoughts about Macondo copying!I thought I built almost copies of the Macondo upperbass horns, yet I've really only achieved quite questionable results. Impressive from time to time, but never f...
